A SILENT CAUSE
The Paper Kites--twelvefour
CAPO 4--All Chords Relative to Capo
[INTRO]
GAmDGAmDG
[VERSE]
GAm
I heard that you're moving away
DGAmDAm
Fumbled in my pockets for a final word
CG
And I tell you 'Don't be late'
G
Smile when you tell me you won’t
GAm
Shuffle your feet and you don't
DGAmDAm
Want to read between the air of silence
CG
Then the rain begins
[CHORUS]
D
I don't want to love you
C
I want to learn you
G
But I'd love to know you well
[Riff]
AmDG
[VERSE]
GAm
So long to your family home
DGAmDAm
I wonder if you'll ever get that feeling back?
CG
Your family home
G
Covered my eyes with your hands
GAm
Walked me through all of your plans
DG
I told you I could see it all
AmDAm
But all I saw was you
CG
Through the space in your fingers
[CHORUS]
D
I don't want to love you
C
I want to learn you
G
But I'd love to know you well
[RIFF]
AmDG x3
[VERSE]
GAm
You say all the people you know
DGAmDAm
All are slowly dying from a silent cause
CG
From their quiet desperations
G
I walk you home in the rain
GAm
Pass by the yellow line train
DG
Thought that I was different
AmDAm
When you looked at me
G
But this quiet desperation is
CD
Killing me too
CG
Killing me too
[CHORUS]
D
And I don't want to love you
C
I want to learn you
G
But I'd love to know you well
